CD of UK & US Mining Lamp Patents from 1862-1945

For those out there who are serious collectors of mining lamps a fellow NMMA member has e-mailed to inform me that an ebay trader in Germany is offering CDs containg a compilation of over 950 different copies of original mining lamp patents from the UK and USA. Those lamp patents from the UK date from 1893. The seller is selling these CDs as "Buy It Nows". Although he may not have any of these CDs currently listed it appears that by contacting the seller via the "Contact Seller" link off his last e-bay listing he will probably sell directly off e-bay, taking payment by Paypal. For more details about this CD and its contents see the following link to a recent e-bay listings;

I understand that the total cost of these CDs to the UK is around £14 including postage. If anyone already has one of them why not post a review of it as a reply to this posting. On the face of things they sound like good value for money.
